CU Medicine reaches 92% radiology coding automation with CodaMetrix, cutting coding lag by 3.6 days

The problem

CU Medicine was constrained by a 46% automation ceiling in radiology coding and suffered from coding lag that slowed operations, while needing to handle high visit volumes without adding headcount.

First attempt

Prior automation hit a ceiling at 46%, unable to push radiology coding automation higher.
